OK, I’ve been watching too many shows of Extreme Couponing on TLC! I once tried to coupon a couple of years ago but I gave up because I thought it took too much time and many of the coupons were for foods that we don’t eat, but I’ve changed my mind! Once I saw this […]
Just a reminder – don’t forget to start your gardens! We planted some seeds outside last week. We have had an unusually cold and rainy spring here in the Midwest, as has been the case around the U.S. I’m sure all the crazy weather is going to affect produce prices and availability this summer, so all […]
Below is an e-mail I received this week from The Feingold Association. We have two days (nice of them to give so much time), to write the USDA to let them know how we would like to see school lunches. Feingold is asking people to write to tell them that we want to see food dyes […]
I could have labeled this post “How to Prevent Autism” because I do believe a woman can greatly reduce her chances of having a child with autism by taking care of herself before and during pregnancy. But, in striving for an all natural pregancy, you can reduce a whole host of other issues as well. […]
GFCF Macaroni and Cheese This is a “recipe” I made up using the new Daiya cheese. You can adjust the amounts to taste, but I wanted to have some kind of measurements. I make this in the morning for my daughter and then put it in her thermos for lunch. When I do that, I […]

Lynsey’s Home Birth Story August 1st, 2003 After hearing too many times that my bouncing off the walls, never stop, energizer bunny son was “all boy”, I was determined that my next child would be “all girl”. Two years before she was even born, I painted our spare bedroom pink. With my first child, I had read the book, “Taking […]
Part of the reason I decided on homebirth was because of reading dozens of birth stories online. I think http://www.childbirth.org/ had the most, and they group them so you can read homebirth stories, hospital, C-section,etc. Nearly every story I read about homebirth seemed about 100 times better than all the other hospital birth stories. The hospital stories […]
Below are just a few things I have learned on the GFCF boards about what is safest to use in the kitchen. I had no idea about any of these things before. It can be expensive to replace a lot of your kitchen ware. I didn’t do it all at once. I asked for different […]
